Help! My browser won't open up http://localhost:7000

Hello there Odysseus community and helpers! I have gone and followed the steps to download Odysseus onto my Linux Mint laptop and completed all of these:

git clone https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/odysseus.git
cd odysseus
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py
python -m uvicorn app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7000

This is the screen that I put in and followed the instructions:

When I did the last one though it said the following:

Then when I go to Firefox it says this:

I have done the first step of trouble shooting and turned my laptop off and on but still hasn't worked. Any idea how I can get the link to open?

Hey! The issue is that the server never actually started, the venv wasn't active when you ran the last command.
Try this:

1. Check your Python version is 3.11 or higher:
   python3 --version

2. Then run these in order:
   cd ~/odysseus
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python setup.py
   python -m uvicorn app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7000

3. After step 2, your terminal prompt should show (venv) at the start — that confirms it's working.

4. Keep that terminal window open while using Odysseus, then go to http://localhost:7000.

If Python is below 3.11, you'll need to upgrade that first. Alternatively, Docker is the easier route if you have it installed.
